How to get max date

I have a table which contains the times documents were created. There are two groups of documents, one that is created by our system automatically at 11:23 PM on a daily basis, and documents that were created by users. What I need to find out, is when the last user-created document was entered in the system in a 1 month range. For example... the date column looks like this:

I would suggest:SELECT TOP 1 DateField FROM YourTable WHERE DateField BETWEEN 'YYYY-MM-DD' AND 'YYYY-MM-DD' ORDER BY DateField DESCreplacing YYYY-MM-DD with the appropriate start and end dates for the date range you want.(I always get ASC and DESC mixed up... if that returns the OLDEST in the range, then use ASC instead of DESC at the end)
